Nice work Rick
Hawks played well
Only good sides win away
Gieschen was saying that any push in a marking contest is now illegal
Not just in the back
It rubbed salt in the wound when Gunston marked in the goal square a few minutes later and literally shoved (I think it was Otten ) with both hands out of the way
Both marks should have been paid only one was
It’s the old cliche we just wanted consistency

Well before the ridiculous decision against Thompson on Saturday evening there were plenty of Hawks supporters around me at the Peacock Hotel pulling their hair out about the umpiring inconsistency. One or two bad/dumb decisions in the last ten minutes do not a win or loss make. A seemingly unfair decision in the first five minutes has as much weight on the games as any other does. Chin up old boy.

Dangerfield (love his work) may well have been BOG but the next four best players were Hawks. That’s the Crow’s concern, spreading the workload around, not the umpiring.
